  • Serves Panora, IA

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

Hey! I'm Janet. I'm a photographer/videographer based in the Twin Cities, specializing in elopements and intimate weddings. I document couples who are unapologetically themselves and want to do things their way - even if that's out of the ordinary.

Janet was absolutely fantastic to work with! She clearly and regularly communicated with us to let us know what to expect on our wedding day and captured gorgeous photographs of our celebration. She was extremely fun to work with and got smiles out of everyone, which was no small feat! She made us feel so at ease and worked closely with us to make sure she captured all the moments of our special day. We would both highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone thoughtful, fun, and beautifully creative in her work!

I’m a central Iowa based wedding and portrait photographer on a mission to capture joyful personalities and the moments where you can’t stop smiling. I love rural Iowa, dessert for breakfast, outdoor adventures, and I’m a total homebody. My approach to photography is simple. I strive to create memories that are true to life. If you’re looking for authenticity with a dash of small town USA, I think we’re going to be great friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a fellow vendor working beside Katie (me on video, her on photo) on someone's big day, she is all you could ask for when working in conjunction with someone on a wedding day. She was friendly and completely respectful of the work I needed to do, even though we had to work at the same time and in the same spaces. She was open to communicating about our needs and overall contributed positivity to the process. Photo and Video do not always team up effortlessly and thankfully Katie made it easy to do so! As someone who got to watch Katie at work, she really made an effort to make sure her shots were going to be beautiful (moving things around, finding the right lighting, etc). She was also so supportive and really hyped the couple up throughout the whole day, not only making them comfortable, but confident. I 100% enjoyed working with Katie and hope to do so again!

Howdy! I’m Aubriana, a photographer passionate about capturing life and love in their most genuine moments. My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Jonah Lorsung

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style

  • Serves Panora, IA

Hi friends! My name is Jonah Lorsung and I'm a filmmaker, writer, and photographer born in the Midwest. Most of my free time is spent enjoying concerts, cruising the coast in my Japanese van, or getting lost in a new hobby (right now that's "de-Googling" my life). I'm currently based in Portland, OR and available for travel anywhere my camera may take me, continuing my pursuit of stories that pique my interest. Mostly love, good light, and the small moments that make life worth living.

I first saw Jonah’s work on instagram (he’s worked with my photographer and they make an amazing team!) and decided that if I did have a videographer, Jonah would be it. Jonah has an amazing eye for understated moments, and edits those moments together into a cinematic and emotionally charged film. Jonah was easy to communicate with, easy to plan with, and was a joy to have around on the day of our wedding. In addition to our long film and social media cut, Jonah also was able to give us our raw footage (we requested this, definitely ask if you want it but don’t expect it from a vendor!), which really highlighted to me how involved Jonah was throughout the day. Jonah’s work is the perfect combination of a fly on the wall and a friend on the dance floor. But my favorite part about Jonah’s work is that every film he makes is different and unique to that wedding. There is no stock image or typical layout, they’re all an individual reflection of that day. I could not recommend Jonah enough as a videographer. I’m so glad to have worked with him for our wedding, and to have supported a wonderful and talented person. The photos I’ve included are screenshots from our wedding film and may not reflect the quality of image, but do reflect the artistic quality of Jonah’s films!

Elevate your event experience. I provide premium sound system, dance floor lighting, tube lighting, full room dynamic up lighting, live DJ mixing, and emceeing, to any event you are imagining. I try to help any potential client gain a better perspective on the importance of not only hiring someone to play a role as a "DJ" - (aka someone who simply plays music) but also having that same person actively assist with the flow of the event and truly becoming integrated within your event. If you feel like we would be a great fit, I'd love the opportunity to chat!

Davin was INCREDIBLE! He was an incredible communicator, extremely organized, was on top of everything before our wedding day and during, and was incredibly talented. He played music that we requested as well as adding songs that matched the vibe. I really liked that he was actually DJing too. It wasn’t just like a Spotify playlist playing. I don’t know the right words to use but he used remixes and added beats to songs that would normally be difficult to dance to. My now husband and I didn’t want to leave the dance floor. There were plenty of times when we wanted a break from dancing physically but then another great song would come on so we just ended up staying on the dance floor. I even heard guests say they were getting some fresh air for a second and then the song would change and they changed their minds too and kept dancing. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better DJ for your event. Such a talented and great guy!

With more than 25 years of actual DJ experience, you won’t find a more accomplished, skilled and entertaining person to help you with your wedding. Music has been in my life from an early age. At 8 years old, I would pretend to DJ on the radio using my parents’ Beach Boys records and a wooden spoon for a mic. At 17, I started DJing on the radio and I was hooked! In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

DJ Cox Entertainment was an amazing addition to our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was easy, helpful, knowledgeable and understanding. The quality of their work and value was incredible - they kept things running smoothly, maintained precise control over everything, and kept our guests energized and dancing all night long. DJ Cox made our wedding festivities, from start to finish, stress-free and so much fun. We highly recommend them for any event, but especially your wedding!

I run a photobooth business in New York and I’ve gone through a lot of backdrops over the years. Some are fine, most just didn’t look that vivid or high quality. This flower wall totally exceeded my expectations. I got the white one and used it at a wedding recently. my guests loved it! People kept lining up to take pics in front of it, and honestly, it looked great in every single shot. Super full, no weird plasticky shine like a lot of the cheaper ones out there. Setup was quick too, which I really appreciated. You can tell the quality’s there. Definitely planning to use it again and order a new color for future events.

Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!
